Jones Swamp is a 1,300-acre nature preserve in southwest Escambia County, between Bayou Grande and Bayou Chico, centered around Jones Swamp Creek.

In May 2007, the Northwest Florida Water Management District awarded a $500,000 grant to the County to help restore the wetland habitat by removing levees that straightened the creek and drained the swamp.[1]
